Thanks I managed to find the electrical fault then test drove it in the wet and that was an adrenalin filled event

i only had it out in the rain once (suicide ) it was only used in the dry after that. im so glad its back on the road. have fun mate and keep safe.

well thanks ed you tell me now

[edsmini]

those tyres you have on will make it worse. i had the a539 when i had it, and they were not too bad.

Hi Ed when I bought the car it had the Yokohamas on I did notice in your original photos the a539s I will look in to upgrading the tyres at a later date

the tyres you have are great for dry weather. i dont think they are so good for wet conditions. the car is so short, that you need to be quick with the reactions to catch it

I just took delivery of my new wheels from Force racing at the rear they will be 8x13 at the front 7x13 I got to say they are very light and worth every penny.

Joss, would you mind me asking how much you paid for the wheels?

Also where are you based, I ask because you were asking about shows and wondered we you were and what you might be at. I don't have any firm plans for shows this year but might try a get to one or two if there are going to be a few people from the forum going.
